To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, SAMUEL A. GOULD, of Chicago, county of Cook, and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hinges for Cake-Griddles, 850., of which the following is a specification.

Myinvention is forimprovements in hinges as applied to cake-griddles, (as shown in the accompanying drawings) and all other similar articles composed of two or more parts united by hinge-joints, where said parts are required to bein a supported level position when open. hinge joint ordinarily used in such cases are, it is much more substantial, furnishing a regular level of the hinged parts, its construction issimple and economical, no drilling being required, the parts being united as cast or made, and fastened in position by the pin or wire or any other suitable device, which acts both as a lock of the hinge and fixed support to hold the parts in a line position.

The mechanism and construction of said invention are as follows, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.

Figure 1 shows a plan View of a cake-griddle with the said hinge applied; Fig. 2, a sectional View of the same through the line 00 w;

Its advantages over the old.

Fig. 3, the'locking-pin before using, and Fig. 4 the same after it is fixed into position in the hinge by clinching the end.

Said hingeis composed of three parts-first, the T-shaped projection A ,withaslotorgroove, D,- around the center of the head of the T-bar A; second, a corresponding projected ear, and a notch or groove corresponding to said groove D in the T-bar; and, third, the wire or pin, as shown by Figs. 3 and 4. The said T projection A being placed in the corresponding part, B, the wire or pin 0, as it appears in Fig. 3, is inserted in the groove D and fastened by clinching or turning down the end, as shown in Fig. 4.

What I claim is- A hinge with a T-shaped projection, having'a groove in the center of the same, a pro jection provided with two or more perforated ears, and a notch or groove corresponding to the groove in the T-projection, and the wire or pin forming the lock or fastening, substantial] y as described and shown.
